    In my opinion Mcafee and norton are junk. I use avaste on my home computers and it works great to me. It doesn't slow down my pc and it has detected viruses on things I was downloading so I was able to stop them and delete them.
    Mcaffe and norton would detect them to and maybe be a bit more smart on viruses but they really really slow down your computer and it's not really worth it.

    Kinda... The home edition is free but you still have to register and get a free key via email. The pro version is something like $20.
